This chapter contains the following sections:
Oracle Banking Corporate Lending allows you to re-price fixed rate contracts to floating rate contracts and vice-versa. Re-pricing is very similar to the rollover operation. The difference being that you can initiate a rollover only on the maturity date whereas you can perform re-pricing on any date between the value date and maturity date of the contract (value date inclusive). The following two options are available for re-pricing:
You have to adhere to the following rules for both types of re-pricing:
When you re-price a contract, the amount is taken from the parent contract into the ‘Re-Price Suspense GL’ (specified in the ‘Preferences’ sub-screen of the ‘Branch Parameters – Detail’ screen) before moving it to the child contract.
You can re-price a transaction (or part amount) into a new transaction or multiple transactions through the ‘Re-Price Transaction (Split Details)’ screen.
You can invoke the ‘Split Reprice Transaction’ screen by typing ‘LBDREPRS’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking the adjoining arrow button.
The current system date is displayed as the ‘Book Date’ (you are not allowed to change this date) and ‘Value Date’ of split re-pricing.
In addition, you have to specify the following:
Contract Ref No
Select or enter the reference number of the contract to be re-priced. When you enter the reference number, the following details are displayed for the parent contract:
The Split Serial No. gives you the number of split transactions carried out on the parent contract till date. It starts with one and increments by 1 for every subsequent split transaction.
Note
Value Date
By default, the system displays the current date. You can change this date provided the new date is less than the maturity date or greater than or equal to the value date of the contract.
Liquidate Principal
By default, the system selects this check box if the total amount of the child contracts is less than the outstanding principal balance. It instructs the system to liquidate the outstanding principal for the parent contract at the time of re-pricing. You can deselect this check box, if required.
Liquidate Interest
By default, this check box is deselected. If you select this check box, the system liquidates the outstanding interest for the parent contract at the time of re-pricing, if interest payment schedule exists on that day. If you do not check this box, the interest remains with the parent. On the event of complete liquidation of principle or re-price amount more than the principle outstanding also you can select or deselect the Liquidate Interest check box.
Interest Rate Fixing Date
The system displays the interest Rate Fixing Date.
In the case of prime loans, this box is not applicable and prime interest liquidation happens to the extent of the re-price amount and principle if any.
Default Fronting
Indicate if the fronting detail has to be defaulted for the increase in amount during rollover / reprice. You can select one of the following options:
On selecting the ‘Default Fronting’ option, the front/fund details is defaulted from the past disbursement events to the new disbursement event (VAMB/VAMI) which is triggered as part of reprice processing. System generates BPMT to the borrower for the fronted/funded investor’s portion and proceed with the reprice processing.
On selecting the ‘Create New Contract’ option, the system defaults the front/fund details to the new disbursement event (VAMB/VAMI) which will be triggered as part of reprice processing, but the BPMT event is not fired based on these default options. Further, as part of Reprice processing, one of the child contractsare created for the increase in amount without any default fronting/funding options. In the split child contract, for the increased amount, the funding details are captured and borrower payment is also be sent from this child contract.
In the ‘Child Re-Price Transaction (Split)’ section of the screen, you can specify the following details of the child contracts.
Product
Select the product under which the child contract is to be created during re-pricing.
Liqd Int on Prepayment
The system allows you to check this option only if the product you select is defined as a ‘Prime Loan’ product (in the ‘Loans Syndication – Borrower Product Preferences’ screen). If selected, the system liquidates the interest component along with the principal either on the frequency-based schedule date or at the time of principal prepayment. In case of the latter, system calculates interest only on the principal prepaid.
Amount
Specify the transaction amount for the split/child contract. After you specify the amount, the system displays the following information:
Note
The sum total of the transaction amounts of all the child contracts can be less than, equal to, or greater than the outstanding principal amount of the parent contract. If the total amount of the child contracts (at the time of re-pricing) is greater than the outstanding principal balance, the system automatically initiates a VAMI (value dated amendment on the re-price date) on the parent contract for the differential amount. Thus, the difference amount is added to the principal amount before the system proceeds with re-pricing.
Amort Amount
Specify the amort amount for the child contracts.
Amort Amount is enabled only if the child product is amortization type and the “Allow user input installment” and ‘User Input Installment’ is selected at the product level. The system validates this value and displays an error message if the field value is null.
Pre-EMI main Interest component schedule is not defaulted to Child contracts even if parent contract has ‘Allow pre-amortization interest’ checked. Split Reprice is supported only for Amortization contracts having Principal and Main Interest component amount as part of Amortization constant. If Escrow impounding components or any other non main interest component exists and they are not part of the Amortization constant, Split reprice is allowed.
Impound components are copied from child product and special amount is not be copied from parent contract. For Tax/ Insurance/ ESCROW components, definition of special component related details for the child products are not supported.
Maturity Date
Enter the date of maturity for the child contract. Child contract generated from the parent contract can have any maturity date but not greater than the maturity date of the tranche and not less than the value date of the re-price.
Child Ref No
The system displays the reference number of the child/re-priced contract. For current and back dated split instructions, the reference number is generated on authorization of the split instructions. For future dated instructions, the reference number is generated either on the re-price value date or on the child contract creation date (through the ‘Partial Split Instruction Processing’ screen), which ever occurs first.
Consider for Split
Select this check box to specify the split that should be considered for the new contract created for the increase in amount without the default front/fund details.
It is mandatory to select this option for one of the splits if ‘Create new contract’ option is selected.
Note
On selecting the 'Default Fronting' option, the 'Consider for Split' is disabled.
Example
Case 1: Split reprice instruction is captured as follows:

10M |
N |
C3 |
The split for 12M is internally split into 2M (increase in amount) and 10M (12M-2M). Child contracts C2 and C3 are created for 2M and 10M, respectively. For C3, all the participants are treated as fronting (defaulted from parent contract C1). For C2, there is not any default fronting. User have to capture the fronting values manually using the payment processing browser.
Case 2: Split reprice instruction is captured as follows:
Split No |
Reprice Amount |
Consider for Split |

The second split for 5M is internally split into 2M (increase in amount) and 3M (5M-2M). Child contracts C2, C3 and C4 are created for 7M, 2M and 3M respectively. For C2 and C4, all the participants are treated as fronting (defaulted from parent contract C1). For C3, there is not any default fronting. User have to capture the fronting values manually using the payment processing browser.
Click ‘Interest Details’ button to enter interest related details and also RFR (Risk Free Rate) details. The system allows you to modify the default RFR parameters maintained at product-level during split reprice operation. For more information on RFR, refer to Interest User Guide.
Rate Type
Select the nature of the rate for computing interest for the child contract. The options available are:
When you select the ‘Rate Type’, the system displays the name of the component(s), if any of the above type is associated with the product.
Note
For main interest component if ‘Rate Type’ is 'Fixed', then you can enter rate fixing details in 'Rate Fixing' screen. In addition, you can enter the 'Spread' and 'Margin Details'.
Reset Tenor
This indicates the tenor for the component. The tenor of the parent contract defaults for the child contract. You can specify a different tenor for the same, if required.
Rate Code
If there are components with ‘Rate Type’ as ‘Floating’, select a rate code to be applied to the child contract. The option list displays all valid rate codes maintained in the system. Select the appropriate code from this list. The system picks up the rate maintained for the selected rate code and displays it in the ‘Base Rate’ field.
Interest Basis
The system defaults the value from the component at the parent contract level and you are allowed to amend the value while capturing Re-price instruction.
The interest for each currency is calculated using the interest basis, which you select:
For more information on ‘Interest Basis’, refer to Interest User Manual.
Base Rate
The base rate for the component of the child contract is displayed here. If the rate type of the component is ‘Fixed’ and the ‘Fixed Rate Type’ is ‘User Input’, you can amend the rate. In the case of ‘Floating’ rate type, system displays the rate applicable for the selected ’Rate Code’.
Interest Component
In addition, the system displays the following:
The margin, if maintained for the interest components defined for the selected borrower drawdown product (in the ‘Interest Definition’ screen), defaults in the ‘Product Component’ section of the screen. The following details are displayed:
Note
You can change the default rate only for components with ‘Basis Amount Tag’ as ‘User Input’.
Specifying Interest Rate Rounding Components
The ‘Rate Rounding Rule, ‘Rate Rounding Unit’, and ‘Rate Rounding Position’ values get defaulted from ‘Interest Limits Detail’ screen. If required, you can change these values.

Agent Rate
During split re-pricing, in case there are residual interest and principal on the parent contract (in case of partial re-price), the system liquidates the same in the parent contract if you select the ‘Liquidate Principal’ and ‘Liquidate Interest’ boxes. If you do not select the amount is retained in the parent contract.
Note
The system creates the child contracts with the same currency as that of the parent contract. However, if drawdown currency is different from the linked tranche currency, you have the option to fix exchange rate for each child contract.
For details, refer the section titled ‘Fixing exchange rate for child contracts’ in this chapter.
You cannot perform a back dated re-pricing beyond the:
The system processes the SPIX on the Rate Fixing Date. The Interest rate is picked from Daily LIBOR Rate for the Rate fixing date for Drawdown currency and for Interest Rate Period and Rate Code. The SPIX gets processed online once the Job starts processing and also when the rate maintenance available for the Rate fixing date
If the flag ‘Auto Auth Rate Fixing Events’ is ‘Yes’ at loans parameters screen, then SPIX gets auto-authorized with maker/checker as SYSTEM
If the flag ‘Auto Auth Rate Fixing Events’ is ‘No’, then SPIX will not be authorized. The Maker Id for SPIX event is SYSTEM. You are allowed to authorize this event from ‘Split Re-Price Transaction’ Screen.
You to manually amend the interest rate through Interest Rate Amendment screen (IRAM), if further amendments required for the Re-priced Drawdown interest components. The job fails the SPIX event if rate maintenance is not available for the day. Appropriate exception is logged saying rate maintenance is not available.
In the case of future dated re-pricing, Oracle Banking Corporate Lending allows you to create child contracts in advance, that is,. before the value date of the split. You can create the child contracts through the ‘Partial Split Instruction Processing’ screen. You can invoke the ‘Partial Split Instruction Processing’ screen by typing ‘LBSPASPT’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking the adjoining arrow button.

Click ‘Ok’ to generate the child contracts for the selected parent contracts.
Note
If you opt for forward dated re-pricing, the system restricts other events (which may change the payment schedules – Liquidation, Value Dated Amendment, PRAM, Split/Merge Re-price, and so on), for the parent contract till the re-pricing is complete. However, for pro-rata tranche contracts, you can do a participant transfer between the Booking and Initiation dates.
If drawdown currency is different from the linked tranche currency, you have the option to fix exchange rate for each child contract. You can do this through the ‘Exchange Rate Fixing’ screen. Click ‘Exchange Rate Fixing’ button in the ‘Re-Price Transactions (Split Details)’ screen.
For more details on the above screen, refer the section titled ‘Fixing exchange rate for drawdown currency’ in the ‘Loan Syndication Contracts’ chapter of this User Manual.
If you have checked the ‘Rate Fixing Required’ box for the interest component at the product level (in the ‘Interest Definition’ screen), you can fix the interest rate for such components in the child contracts, at the time of re-pricing. To do this, click ‘Interest Rate’ button in the ‘Re-Price Transactions (Split Details)’ screen.
For details on the above screen, refer the section titled ‘Fixing interest rate after drawdown booking’ in the ‘Loan Syndication Contracts’ chapter of this User Manual.

Currency
The currency of the child contract is displayed here. You can merge only those child contracts that have the same currency as the parent contract.
Liquidate Interest
By default, this box is deselected. If you select this check box, the system liquidates the outstanding interest for the child contract at the time of re-pricing, if interest payment schedule exists on that day. If you do not select this check box, the interest remains with the child.
Note
If the child contract is prime loan, the system liquidates the interest which has been accrued till date (the re-price value date) irrespective of the ‘Liquidate Interest’ option.
Liquidate Principal
By default, the system selects this check box if the total amount of the child contracts is less than the outstanding principal balance. It instructs the system to liquidate the outstanding principal for the child contract at the time of re-pricing. You can deselect this check box, if required.
Remarks
You can capture additional remarks for the consolidation transaction, if required.
During consolidation re-pricing, the amount is taken from the child contract into the ‘Re-Price Suspense GL’ (specified in the ‘Preferences’ sub-screen of the ‘Branch Parameters – Detail’ screen) before moving it to the parent contract.
Note
If the UDF ‘RATE-VARIANCE’ is maintained as a non-zero value for a tranche contract to which the drawdown is linked, dual authorization is required.
For more details, refer the section ‘Authorizing Overrides’ in the chapter titled ‘Loan Syndication Contracts - Part 1’ of this User Manual.
You can reverse a forward split/consolidation re-price instructions before the value date of re- price. To reverse the split instructions for which the system has already processed the child contracts, you have to first reverse the child contracts before you reverse the re-price instructions maintained for the parent contract. You cannot reverse the instructions if the underlying split child contracts are active.
